By the hundred thousand we have crossed the ocean, changed our habit of hfe. enlarged our experience, widened our out- look, increased our possessions, and seen our children's feet set in wider places than our own ever knew— and we have done it without bating one jot or tittle of our tie with th*. Old Land : without sacrificing a single worthy sentiment which prevaded our youth. We have broken nothing in order to build anew. EASY WAS THE CHANGE. We have come from the islands of the sea to this continent and have flourished m Provinces as widely spread as the babel- tongued countries of Europe. We have done it witii as little violence to our inmost traditions as would have distinguished a move from the North to the Soutii of England— not as far as from Montreal to Toronto, or from Winnipeg to Regina. We have followed the citizenship ofthe Kfngdom Ith the citizenship of the Dominion more easily than you can transfer a vote from Glasgow to Greenock. We have seen Ttistke. tlie haU- mark of a free and enlightened people, wearing the same avect here as it wears m the Old Home. We have found many thhigs better than they were in the days of our childhood.
